Wow what brilliant fireworks, World Famous certainly did a good job, fireworks and music all over the place, fireworks up at the castle and in the harbour and over the breakwater. I sneaked on the boat really easily, getting off the other end was quite simple noone in France has any idea what I am, they didn't even think to ask for my ticket.
I'm in Dover now, can you see the castle, it's great to be out in the sunshine again, I hear that they have got some fireworks on tonight I'm going to get on a boat when they are all watching the fireworks all those woooshings and bangs noone will notice me.
I'm off I've had enough of this place I'm going to Dover and abroad, I've had my plugs changed to fit those European sockets and I'm off to see pastures anew.
I'm sitting in this shed of death, surrounded by bits of dead seagulls and old dusty safes, I've had enough with this dusty old tarpaulin on top of me, it's not even mine someone stole mine so the invigilators took this dusty one.......ah....well

Well we tried, it did look better in reality, and you can just see Olivia's hand again, still waving goodbye. as we drove along we found the truck so she came along behind us, we drove up past the Visitor Centre and gave loud toots on the horn, they came out and waved us both by. Hoorahs and grins all round.
What with all the partying of the last weekend I quite forgot my fairy lights to decorate the float with on its last homeward journey. So I phoned up Vinnie's mum, they are featured in the Triennial book on Pae White's Barking Rocks and she bought all her Christmas lights. Whilst I was attaching the lights she set to work taking out the add ons, what else are friends for?
On the last day the sun was shining gently, September sun is very different to August sun and the air was different too. We had lots of folk who knew about the float and wanted to take part. The lower Leas park is such a delight.
We initiated a small symposium, to talk about art and regeneration in Folkestone, and were joind by Strange Cargo, The Creative Foundation, CLub Shepway, the Folkestone Research Network Forum and of course the Folkestone Triennial itself.
The idea was to make some time and space to talk about the very different cultural activities that are going on in Folkestone, which all have their own concept of how to contribute to the place and make it more interesting and better.The door was open to everybody interested.
